What are fair expectations for Notre Dame in 2024?
Personally I look at pretty much any year going forward being a disappointment if the Irish aren’t hosting a first round playoff game in the middle of December.
Anything short of a College Football Playoff appearance, essentially being one of the nation’s top 12 teams, would certainly be seen as a failure.
But what about more than that?
What about winning a national championship for the first time since 1988?
To do so will require beating multiple powerhouses in the postseason, something Notre Dame hasn’t done a single time since the 1994 Cotton Bowl when they beat Texas A&M.
Josh Pate of CBS Sports and host of The Late Kick Podcast recently discussed Notre Dame in the 2024 season to come. Check out how Pate handicaps Notre Dame’s chances both at the playoff and at actually ending their title drought below:
